Curator

We’ve fixed an issue where exporting PDF’s with certain characters in the Board title would not work.
Also added the option to purchase Premium outright instead of subscribing, due to popular demand!

We keep making Curator better and really appreciate your feedback. Please consider leaving a nice review, it really helps!

Full support for iPad Pro, it’s amazing!

Dottie Attie is a NYC based artist. Her work is a social commentary using images from the art of the past.
Her appropriation work uses the grid as a mean of juxtaposition and works like a collage. There are some obvious relationships with comic strip narration. She uses text to drive the meaning further.

Skin Deep [text reads: Sometimes a traveler in foreign lands / Where customs and mores are unfamiliar / Will find / Persistance / And perusal / Mean consent.]

Snap Shot [text reads: Sometimes a traveler in foreign lands / Where customs and mores are unfamiliar / Will find to his surprise / That in certain places / And in certain times / Resistance / And refusal / Mean consent.]

Vermeer’s Wife [text reads: When his estranged teacher Carl Fabritus died unexpectedly and under unusual circumstances, the news much delayed, reached Vermeer’s wife by letter.]

The Détournement process was initially developed by the Letterist and the Situationist art movements, later popularised by the Punk movement and 80’s culture jamming practices.

Why we like it:
• The question of the original and the copy surfaces trough the détournement nature of her work.
• The juxtaposition of apparently unrelated images, force the viewer to create his/her own narration; thus revealing more about our individual inner world than commenting on the external world.
• Could you re-use her re-used work and create a different meaning/narration?

* Dottie Attie’s work was brought to our attention by one of the many amazing users of Curator, Jeronimo Rosales @JeronimoRosales

Charles Ross studied Mathematics at UC Berkeley in the 60s while discovering his passion for making art.
Ross sources sunlight and starlight to produce and inspire his artworks. Using prisms to beam light’s spectrum into architectural spaces, he also employs lenses to focus and converge burning rays on surfaces.

Solar Burn in the time it takes sunlight to reach the Earth 1/30/77

Why we like it:
• The process, like the medium is simple. The juxtaposition and repetition create an obsessive observation of the phenomenon.
• The grid is a tool that helps present content in a clear and meaningful way. By removing visual distinction, the grid helps the viewer focus. The essential differences and relationships created throughout the visual information become narration. The artist removes specifics of individual pieces and encourage the viewers to focus on the essential differences, and the repetition of the process.
• The Sun is 150 million km away from our planet Earth. Light travels at 300,000 km/s. It took 500 seconds, or 8 minutes and 33 seconds for the light to travel and come burn the paper.
• The sun is drawing a portrait of itself.
